Ultrahigh-energy neutrinos can be our gateway to studying some of the Universe’s most energetic but least understood phenomena. Today’s paper presents a proof-of-concept for a new, promising way to detect these ultrahigh-energy particles.
The authors of today’s bite explore how lunar mountains and crust can act as the perfect detector for detecting ripples in spacetime.
Core collapse supernovae sometimes lead to spinning black holes and gamma ray bursts. In this astrobite, we explore the results of a recent simulation of these “collapsar” systems to understand the impact of neutrino cooling on the black hole spin and subsequent gamma ray bursts.
Did you know that many observed black holes theoretically shouldn’t exist? Today’s paper gathers gravitational wave evidence for how these impossible black holes might have formed.
A new solution to Einstein’s general relativity suggests wormholes could be real and traveling through them might be possible.
In today’s bite, the LHAASO collaboration tackle a gamma ray mystery in the LS I +61 303 system, investigating just who (or what) might be responsible.
